Default This was over 2 years overdue...

For 2-2.5 years, I have had a hole on one side of the softtop directly behind the passenger side window. Not long after, one developed on the driver side as well. I procrastinated for quite some time about this, simply because I am not a top up driver AT ALL. But, over time, the holes progressively got worse and became a very ugly spot on the car. Now, I could have gone hardtop, but considering the hardtop I would want is considerably more expensive combined with me being a top down enthusiast as stated above, it would be quite a waste. Instead, I found the top I needed at topsonline.com and converted to a glass window as well. I am estatic to have the top fixed, and I will soon go for a window tint job on the window that will complete the transition.

Here are the pics....

Wow, your plastic window was in better shape than most I've seen. Sucks about the holes.

But good for you for going to glass. Should be a rewarding upgrade.

Which top did you end up going with? The EZ On or Robins? How is the fit and how hard was it to install?

Nice! be sure to pad the inside bar to prevent future tearing of the top.
